Command of the Gnomish language is required to start or complete this quest.

This quest can be started at level 60. Make sure you know the Gnomish language first as it is needed to begin this quest!

You have to rescue an ambushed gnome near the doomwing dig site in order to start this quest. Go to 117, 69, 578 . Two Ambushers and a gnome will spawn, save the gnome from the ambushers before he dies. Speak to him to get the quest.

Gather 5 pile of goo. (big blue globs that spawn in the river). Turn this into Gimdimble Fizzwoddle at -19, 43, 496 in the Dreadnever Crash Site.

Use the Fizzwoddle's Core Sampler, located in your inventory, to collect ground samples. Make sure the name of the area pops up on your screen.

You must collect 10 soil samples in the hive. This is the big volcano looking thing on the island with dreadnever crash site. The path inside is at 73, 100, 958 . Once inside there are soil samples you have to mine.

Turn in to the gnome.

Collect dizzwangle. This spawns on the middle island of Halls of Fate. Go to -123, -771, 296 . You will get thrown off the island when you get this item.

Collect carapace's and padding for the device.

Kill 5 a Vornerus drone. These come in groups of 3, one double down arrow and 2 triple down arrows.

Retrieve gnomes tools. This is on the Remnants of Xoch at 240, -355, -32 .

Kill a young dragon. This is a 65 ^^^. It is a major undercon with a big knockback attack. This spawns on Halls of Fate and flies around the isle before landing on top of the building.

Return to the gnome. He will give you a TEMPORARY Gnomish Safety Hat that gives +200 safe fall, as well as Fizzwoddle's Rocket Pack. When you click on the rocket pack he gives you it will toss you way up in the air. Be sure to stay away from the edge. Talk to the gnome again to complete the quest and receive your rewards: 60,515 status and Bag of the Tinkerers.

Gimdimble's ready for his invention to be tested. Hopefully the safety helmet will work...

Turns out that invention of Gimdimble's was a complete nightmare. It blew up on my back, and launched me into the air hundreds of feet! Good thing I had the foresight to make sure there was padding in the crash helmet.

How do you get the dragon to spawn? He should, theoretically spawn instantly if you are on the quest but he doesn't. I know if you wait around forever he will spawn but there has to be a quicker way for him to spawn or is it just broken this way?

That was a fun fight to lose at 82. Stun stun stun stun kockback knockback stun stun stun... got it down to like 5% but it still won.

Yup, that dragon certainly puts up quite the fight. My suggestion is to get into first person view, pull it to one of the sides of the building on the isle and keep your back wedged against the wall. You'll rarely be affected by knockbacks as long as you manage to keep that position and being in first person will lessen the chance of accidentally turning your view too much, causing you to fly the wrong way. Another way I've done it before was by pulling it into the building hallway, less room for it to fling you around in there.

You can do the final step, trying out the backpack, by going into the cave just beside/behind the large gear (-39.05, 44.08, 557.21). You're going to get hit for focus damage anyway (was 6070 on the two 72s I did it with recently, one in the alcove and one outside the normal way), but this will at least keep you from flying all over if you have issues with that.

Ummmm doing the final step in a cave KILLS you. I just tried it I got the quest update but I died. Jan 17, 2012. So don't do it in a cave do it in an open area and aim your landing.

Getting to Dizzwangle is very easy. Just work your way down the side of the middle island and head for the location given. Before you harvest, put your back to the center of the island. Then harvest the Dizzwangle. AS SOON AS THE HARVEST FINISHES, move yourself backwards. The wind will carry you up and you should land with NO damage. I did and I am a fury.

I went to kill the dragon on Monday, we found it best if all the group get in the entrance to HoF, and get your scout to pull the dragon, use safe fall into the entrance, then there is no kickback off the island or into any other mobs...nuff said! ^_^

I concur with Drakhammer. You can easily spawn the dragon by heading towards where you harvested the Dizwangle. Well before I got there, the 63^^^ dragon spawned, flying up from the ground. It left my sight and I was able to get a group about 5 minutes later. It flew over head and we attacked. I was not inside entrance, and was knocked way off onto ramps, second hit knocked me to the bottom of the island and I died.

Hello :) if it helps any, let you know to spawn dragon and get him to fly to the top, have someone invis/sneak down to the grizzfazzle or whozawhatsit, and dragon will spawn. Follow him around the island as he flies to keep him from going out of range of person that spawned him otherwise he poofs. Did it twice (first time we wiped due to AFK healer) and can confirm, worked both times. Other information in walkthrough is spot-on. When dragon lands on roof, he can be prox-pulled by a tank standing at top of stairs, just outside of the entryway, and pulled to bottom of stairs with backs to the door (keep rest of group downstairs). after initial knock-back, the sneaker can follow in for fight. Be prepared for MASSIVE stuns and plenty of flying from the knock-backs, this kid doesn't play nice with others.

Step: 6. The quest says to retrieve the gnome tools from the 'dig site' which is confusing, we checked Akharu's dig site first. It is a ground item harvestable at the Remnants of Xoch near the Dragon Bones.

I found the dizzwangle easy to get to. If you go into crouch mode and slowly work your way down, step by step you can make it down to the dizzwangle and back up safely. Just make sure that when you harvest the dizzwangle your back is to the cliff and walk backwards when the wind hits you, you'll land with minimal damage.

I think the young dragon is bugged. I ran down towards the grizzlefazzle, saw the young dragon spawn and start flying, I ran up to the HoF building and he never showed up, ran down and repeated it and he still didnt make it to the top.

A little clarification please. I've seen the gnome starter once but I was unable to save him in time - wasn't prepared. Now I've been looing for him again and can't find him. I read that you have to look for two down arrow droags around the dig site but I can't find those either. Any help?

Just to add -- if, like me, you are a cloth-wearing mage with no hit points and no safe fall, getting the dizzwangle is a pain in the @$$% and no mistake ... in the end, I found that using my Tarton's Wheel was the easiest way to get down below, and I used it a couple times trying to get closer to the dizzwangle. Helped a lot! Whether it can port you off into space, I'm not sure ... but it didn't for me, in about 4 uses.

You do not need to turn into a gnome, what it simply means is RETURN to the gnome with the items.. Ive read alot of boards here saying you have to turn into one yourself.not true !CONFIRMED!

Dragon itself is really Hard unless you have full group. Recommended place to stay is in the tunnel into Halls of Fate due to Dragon have Knockback Attack, Also has group stun and lightning attack for a couple 1000's HP's

You can avoid being thrown off the island when harvesting dizzwangle by facing in toward the land while harvesting and right as you finish the harvest push forward and you will be blown up into the air but inward as long as you hold in the direction of the island

I dont think there is a path. I just took the bridge to middle island, turned left, and slowly descended. getting hurt each little jump. But if you are careful you should be able to make it down without too much trouble. I only died 3 times :)

I'm a swashbuckler 66 and can't get this quest. I thought it was cause I didn't know gnomish language, so I bougth the language book and learned it, but when I rescued the ambushed gnome again he did not give me any quest. I see no feather upon him and he doesn't say anything when I hail him. I'm sure I did not delete this quest before. Some clues? Any pre-quest to do?

I am trying to get another device from Gimdimble to get the soil samples and I keep clicking "I need another device" or whatever its called- but he wont give me one and I dont have one in my inventory- I cant go on with the quest without it- anyone know why this is happening????

There is one more step after you kill the young dragon. you talk to the gnome and he gives you a couple of his inventions. You should put on the hat that he gives you which is a temporary, no zone, no trade hat with +200 safe fall. Then you click on the item that he gives you and it tosses you WAY up in the air, I'd stay away from the edge of the island when you do this. It's just one of those FUN things that SoE added. nice little touch. But anyway, after you do that, talk to the gnome again and he'll give you the bag.
